July 2014, we received a phone call that no family member or friend ever dreams of receiving. Our best friend Eddie Miller committed suicide after enduring a long battle with anxiety and depression. During his too brief time with us, Eddie was truly a selfless person whose love, passion, and loyalty left a lasting impression on those who knew him best. Eddie enjoyed cheering for his beloved Browns, Indians, Cavaliers and Buckeyes, and spending time with his friends and family.
EDDIE MILLER MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
In his honor, we started the Eddie Miller Memorial Foundation to help those that fight the same battle that Eddie did, along with their friends and family that help, support and cope. We have partnered with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (www.afsp.org), an organization that funds research, creates educational programs, advocates for public policy, and supports survivors of suicide loss. They set a bold goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by 2025, providing a sustained, significant investment in research, education, and advocacy.
Beyond partnering with AFSP, this year we will also donate to the Cornerstone of Hope (www.cornerstoneofhope.org), a local organization based in Independence, Ohio. Cornerstone of Hope’s mission is to provide support, education, and hope for those grieving the loss of a loved one. Many support groups, individual therapies, and children/teen groups and activities are just some of the services provided.
